CITIZENS BANK PARK FACTS

After 33 years at Veterans Stadium, the Phillies moved into their new state-of-the-art facility, Citizens Bank Park, in 2004. The world-class ballpark - rated one of the best in the country - opened on April 3, 2004, with an exhibition game against the Cleveland Indians. Since that time, the Phillies have captured a World Series championship, two National League pennants, and five consecutive NL East titles, while countless records have been broken both on and off the field.
